The boy and I headed over to Montreal last Friday for an inspiring weekend of music, dancing, design and craft. We checked out two festivals happening at the same time : the 11th annual Mutek (an international festival of digital creativity and electronic music) and Spring Pop (specifically the Puces Pop sale – more on that in another post).
Montreal, city of festivals, how I missed thee – despite the horrible rain on Sunday and therefore ruining a pair of my fave shoes.
Here’s some photos from Saturday at Mutek:

One of my favourite acts was the Senor Coconut and His Orchestra show – Senor Coconut (aka legendary German producer Uwe Schmidt) is known for mixing Kraftwerk singles with Latin styles such as the Cha-Cha-Cha, Merengue, and Cumbia, or eletrolatin music. Here’s a video clip from that night from Youtube:
